Chuck Hagel at Senate Confirmation Hearings: Iran Has an "Elected Legitimate Government"

During his Senate confirmation hearings, Chuck Hagel was today asked by Senator Jim Inhofe why Iran supports his appointment as US secretary of defense. Hagel responded, "I have no idea":

Hagel is a naif or a liar. In response to a question from Senator Saxby Chambliss, Hagel responded that Iran has an "elected legitimate government."

An "elected legitimate government"? A government that was "elected" in 2009 by way of massive voting fraud, which brought tens of thousands of protesters into the streets during the 2009 Green Revolution? These protesters were gunned down, imprisoned and tortured, while Obama sat in silence on the sidelines (see: http://jgcaesarea.blogspot.co.il/2011/04/obama-iran-and-twittergate-jaccuse.html).

And Hagel wonders why he has Iran's backing?

These confirmation hearings are fast becoming an embarrassment for the Obama administration.

    Not in America. Remember that over a third of Americans say that the Germans were our allies during WWII. Probably many more have no idea what Cuban crisis was and who ... Kennedy was.
    Where is somewhere a funny video of Miss South Carolina answering questions. It's recommended to watch this video sitting.

  2. War is war and war is Hell,but the present is no longer 1967 in Viet Nam.No doubt it gave him a strong desire not to spill American blood,but the experience doesn't qualify him for a global position.His lack of knowledge concerning what is really going on in the world today,overshadowed by his prejudices,influences of the potus,is appalling.At least he acknowledges that there is much that he doesn't know about the Pentagon.I find that admission a bit troubling for the next Sec. of Defense in itself.

    Exactly. He doesn't know the world and the Pentagon and he's a bigot and pacifist. In other words, he offers everything we need in times of the scary disintegration of the world.
    So, the empty suit/demagogue Obama now wants a totally unqualified Sec. of Defense. Yes, we need more speeches and poses.
    I am sorry, but this is stupid? suspicious? what? Not normal for sure.
    Hard to believe.
